Subject: [PATCH for-next] IB/core: Avoid a potential OOPs for an unused optional parameter
Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2018 12:31:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180201203103.11832.81537.stgit@scvm10.sc.intel.com> (raw)
From: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl@intel.com>
The ev_file is an optional parameter for CQ creation. If the parameter
is not passed, the ev_file pointer will be NULL. Using that pointer
to set the cq_context will result in an OOPs.
Verify that ev_file is not NULL before using.
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.14.x
Fixes: 9ee79fce3642 ("IB/core: Add completion queue (cq) object actions")
